You made a lot of music before starting making electronic stuff. But I read that, for you, playing certain types of music made you stop using them. Can you talk a bit about this?

We stopped doing jazz because it's too serious. No money, and not many women. Too many old people. We stopped doing reggae because we're not Rastafarians, even if we like to smoke a lot. (And none of us wants to have dreadlocks.) We stopped doing hip-hop because it was too dangerous. We stopped doing rock & roll because Roman died. We stopped doing classical music because we were not serious enough—and we don't want to play the same track every night. We stopped doing salsa because we don't speak Spanish. And we stopped doing pop because we like music too much.
